Johns Hopkins 的Adolescent Health資源


The Center for Adolescent Health is committed to assisting urban youth to become healthy and productive adults. Together with its community partners, the Center conducts research that identifies the needs and strengths of young people and tests programs designed to promote their health and well-being.

Adolescent health care is provided primarily through the Harriet Lane Clinic at Hopkins Children’s. The clinic serves the East Baltimore community and cares for approximately 7,500 children and adolescents with over 25,000 visits per year. It also serves as a training ground for medical students, pediatric residents, and fellows. Adolescent medicine deals with behavior-related health issues, such as teen pregnancy, community violence and substance abuse. In addition, the Harriet Lane Clinic provides general health care for this age group.
